I had the same problem, like you foot was totally asleep and felt nothing but pain numbness and tingling. I was told by my surgeon it was normal and would go away. They did ultrasound looking for DVTs in my veins but found nothing. I went home miserable and in tears. I kept seeking help but got none. At my 3 wk check was told again it’s normal. At 6+Weeks we saw our primary who said it’s NOT normal. Did an ABI ultrasound and found I had a blocked popliteal artery and had surgery to fix that. They said it was from my TKR surgery. The tingling n numbness got better but is not totally gone. With no blood flow to my foot for 60 days more than likely caused cell n tissue damage and is probably permanent. Will be 2 years Feb. 12. I contacted a lawyer but my surgeon put nothing in my visits about my numb foot so case was dropped. I just can’t believe doctors get away w lying in medical records. I just have to live w a miserable foot, painful knee and a limp worse than before tkr.
Good luck and be an advocate for yourself.
